Scoring a commendable 95 points, the 2021 ‘Tripoint’ Sonoma Coast Red is a delightful surprise from California’s celebrated wine region. Its vibrant character is a testament to the unique terroir of the Sonoma Coast, where the cool maritime influence meets abundant sunshine. This harmonious blend offers a riot of flavors, from ripe blackberries and plums to subtle hints of clove and vanilla, leading to a satisfyingly long finish.
